Not all UPS designs are the same. As a result of cost savings in the very competitive UPS market, some designs may not have the highest level of component reliability. Capacitors are an integral part ...

By their very nature, power factor correction capacitors are special devices that operate close to their dielectric breakdown limits — time, temperature, and peak voltage, all of which contribute to ...

The concept of using supercapacitors (also known as ultracapacitors, supercaps, etc.), and replacing the batteries in portable micropower applications, 1 is gaining momentum. In fact, it has become ...

Capacitors. These seemingly simple devices are an integral part of virtually every electronic design. It’s been noted that capacitors account for more items in most circuit bills-of-material (BOMs) ...

Tantalum capacitors offer designers of densely packed, high-performance electronic circuits a reliable high-capacitance solution with stable performance. A historical favorite among design engineers, ...

Advancements in advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous driving (AD) technologies necessitate deploying an increased number of integrated circuits (ICs) within vehicle systems. This ...

Capacitor manufacturers are looking to offset steep price declines of ceramic capacitors with new designs and technologies. The good news for designers is the myriad of new specialty products that ...

Reconstituted mica-paper capacitors provide long life and stable performance for high-voltage circuits. Reconstituted mica-paper capacitors (RMPCs), a refinement of mica-based capacitors that have ...

A power supply’s output capacitors - which are typically ceramic capacitors with values between 100nF and 100μF - cost money, take up space, and, in the case of delivery bottlenecks, can be difficult ...

SplashValve utilizes capacitor charging and discharging to spread power demand, reducing peak current requirements and enabling smaller power supplies. It operates with a 90-degree bi-directional ...

When you're editing 4K videos or running high-resolution AAA games on your laptop, it's easy to overlook the components working quietly in the background to keep everything running smoothly. Modern ...
